He takes a fair amount if criticism from quite a few fans and although I don't agree with it completely I can see some people's points about him, having said that for what it is worth and credit where credit is due I personally thought he was awesome today, some of his hits were outrageous, work rate unbelievable and looked more creative with ball in hand. Well done MM good time to hit some form.

Team looked better without Deacs. Mickey Mac had a good game.

McIllorum and Lockers were responsible for literally battering the Catalan players into submission. Ferocious stuff and more of that next Saturday please.

I had Micky Mac as man of the match if that what playing for the full match can do to his game instead of rotating off the bench, bring it on, he seemed to be really enjoying the game.
On another aside, what was the Catalans No. 26 playing at? He completely lost it in the 2nd half head hunting and the like, if someone sledged him, he certanly took the bait

A cracking game from Mickey Mac....Well played young man, as stated his defence was painfully good, and made excellent yards forward on attack!!!

Keep up the great work

I've always rated him, I did think we looked a bit slower around the PTB when he was on BUT from what I've heard about him yesterday (I couldn't watch the game) he is hitting some form, I've always said it's between him and Lockers who hit the hardest. And lets not forget we were champions last year with Tommy at 7.....

If i were coach id have a sprinting coach come in to work with mickey, i think he is half a yard of pace away from being a truely class player. He see's gaps like roby but he just lacks that lil bit of pace to break from that first line.

one thing you can say about him, he never takes a backward step he is as tough as they come!, ever notice in games nearly everyone including props give him a wide berth!. yet for all his toughness he is a pretty clean player i dont recall him giving too many penalties away (no doubt a phil clark-esq stat man will now prove me wrong)

The think about MM is that the hooker game has changed recently and to compete you need someone fast off the mark. All the top teams have done this, this year, Lou Lou for us, Roby, Monaghan and Robinson for the other top 4.

This is why i think Mickey is looking slow and why is not as effective. Hookers were there to mainly win the scrum, and act as dummy half, but now they need more skills.

I like having Mickey in the team as he is solid and a good tacker, but would prefer if he just had a position in the pack and have Tommy at 9 and a reserve like Logan.

By the way, i thought he had a great game yesterday, but as a pack player.

How about Locker's to 6, Tommy to 9 with Logan, MM to 13?, then bring in another Prop and a Centre

NO to lockers to 6!

Mickey Mac has been poor for the second half of the season mainly in his distribution for potb - but losing his starting place and coming into a team part way through a game thats already established a few things he wasn't part of contributes to that i feel.
Looked brilliant early in the year when starting games and that got him in england train on squad. Played that way again yesterday. Great to see.
